White Nokia Lumia 800 Will Be Coming to Malaysia

At the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710 here in Malaysia last week, Sirpa Ikola Head of Smart Devices Product Marketing, Nokia SEA said that the white version of the Nokia Lumia 800 will be available locally but declined to give a firm date on when exactly the device will be released here.
She did however indicate that Singapore will get the white Lumia 800 earlier and the device could be in Malaysia by the second half of the year. We think four months is too long a time to wait. June is when manufacturers are expected to make available in the market their new flagship devices, we’re expecting Nokia to have something to launch by then as well. So a white Lumia 800 is not going to fly in June.
We feel that the white Lumia 800 will hit Nokia Stores in Malaysia sooner, possibly a month from now. In terms of pricing, the white version will not be priced differently from the other versions.
